Synopsis

Published to coincide with the re-showing of the popular TV series "The World at War" on BBC2 commencing October 1994. This book was originally written to accompany the first showing of the series and has been revised and updated since then. World War II was the biggest and worst military conflagration the world has ever known. It altered the balance of both political and economic world power, killed millions of people and destroyed much of old Europe. Mark Arnold-Foster tells the story of World War II, illuminating all the main stages of the war individually in order to make clear the complex development of the war as a whole.
